The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed the Taiwan International Solidarity Act on Monday, emphasizing that UN Resolution 2758 does not address Taiwan’s representation in the United Nations. The legislation urges the U.S. to use its influence to counter China’s distortion of UN resolutions regarding Taiwan in international organizations.
During a legislative session on Thursday, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Wang Ting-yu (王定宇) highlighted that countries such as the U.K., Australia, Canada, the U.S., the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, EU nations, and the Marshall Islands have all recognized that Resolution 2758 does not concern Taiwan, despite China’s long-term misinterpretation aimed at blocking Taiwan’s international participation.
Kuomintang (KMT) Legislator Ma Wen-chun (馬文君) argued that Taiwan should pursue substantive breakthroughs rather than rely on non-binding resolutions. She questioned the effectiveness of current diplomatic strategies, saying Taiwan shouldn't simply count how many allies speak out for the country each year.
Deputy Foreign Minister Chen Ming-chi (陳明祺) emphasized that the U.S. administration has repeatedly clarified its interpretation of Resolution 2758 at UN venues, aligning with the Taiwan International Solidarity Act. He added that the ministry is actively coordinating with like-minded countries to strengthen advocacy for Taiwan's participation in international organizations, including the World Health Assembly (WHA), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and Interpol.
